What is the power dissipated by a resistor that has 5 amps flowing through it with 120 volts applied?
The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).
What is the result in voltage of applying a 2.7 ohm resistor to a 12 volt DC circuit?
The question has just stated clearly that the applied voltage is 12 volts DC.Provided that the power supply is capable of maintaining its output voltage while supplying some current ... i.e. that the effective internal resistance of the power supply is small ... and that the 2.7 ohm resistor is the only external element connected to the power supply's output, the voltage across the resistor is exactly 12 volts DC.The current through the resistor ... supplied by the 12 volt DC supply ... is 12/2.7 = 4.44 Amperes (rounded).The power dissipated by the resistor ... supplied by the DC supply ... is 122 / 2.7 = 53.23 watts !
What is an electronic device that limits the amount of current that can flow through it?
A current limiter. Commonly used in well designed power supplies to make the power supply "Fold over" if output current exceeds a safe value. Commonly use a low value resistor in series with the output, and a circuit that senses the voltage across it. Although the above answer describes a circuit to limit current, the device that limits the amount of current flowing through it is a resistor.
Power dissipated in an 800 ohm's resistor connected to a 230V supply is?
66W 230/800= 0,2875. 230= 66w
What is the formula for power in watts?
Electrical power is measured in watts. The formulas for power dissipated by a resistor are: * P = V × I * P = V² / R * P = I² × R P is power, V is voltage, I is current, R is resistance.
2 resistors unequal value are in parallel. Would the power dissipated by the resistor with larger ohmic value be greater than the power dissipated by the resistor of lesser value?
No, because the power dissipated in a resistor is proportional to the square of the current through the resistor but only directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor (I^2 * R) and the current through the lower value resistor will be higher than the current through the higher value resistor, the lower value resistor will usually dissipate more power.

What is the power dissipated by a resistor with a current of 0.02 A adn a resistance of 1000 ohms?

What is the current running through a resistor of 9 ohms with volts of 90?
I = E / RIf the voltage across the resistor is 90 volts, and the resistance of the resistoris 9 ohms, then the current through the resistor is90/9 = 10 Amperes.Don't try this at home!The power dissipated by the resistor is E2/R = (90)2/9 = 900 watts. That's comparable to the power (heat) dissipated by a small toaster. A common composition resistor will get hot and possibly explode if it's asked to dissipate that kind of power.
At what level will typical resistors burn out?
A typical resistor will burn out when it dissipates power in excess of double its power dissipation rating for an extended period of time. The power dissipated by a resistor is equal to I2R or E2/R, where E = the voltage across the resistor I = the current through the resistor R = the resistance of the resistor
How Determine the power dissipated by the resistor?
Power dissipated by the resistor = I^2 * R or V^2 / R, where R = its resistance value, I = the current in the resistor, and V = the voltage drop across the two terminals of the resistor. You need to measure or find the information of either I (using an ammeter) or V (a voltmeter).
What is the power dissipated by a resistor with a current of 2 amps and a resistance of 1000 ohms?
I = 2A R = 1000Ω Power Dissipated P = I2R = (2A)2(1000Ω) = 4000W Voltage across resistor V = IR = (2A)(1000Ω) = 2000V
How are power dissipated in a load or in a resistor?
Due to energy usage and/or the reduction in conductance (increase in resistance) in a given load or resistor, some electrical energy is lost through that component. As such, a proportional drop in current and voltage occurs.
What is the power dissipated a resistor with a current of 0.02 amps and a resistance of 1000 ohms?
P = I^2 x R] P = 0.2^2 x 100 P = 4 W
How do you measure current without an amp meter?
Depends on the current. Put a resistor in-line with the current, then measure the voltage across the resistor. V=RI. So, divide the measured voltage by resistor value. Be careful with the size of the resistor, as Power dissipated in a resistor is R*I^2 or V^2/2. So, a 1-Amp current into a 1 Ohm resistor will result in a 1Watt power dissipated in the resistor. If it's too small, it'll burn. Also, notice that if you do that, you haven't measured the current in the original circuit. You've measured the current when an extra resistor is installed in the original circuit, and that's different.
What is the power dissipated by a resistor with a current of 0.02 A and a resistance of 1000 ohms?
